At ~60k a pop who can spend that on a small bus? Maybe rich Californians. VW forgot they're a peoples' car and is trying to become a status brand for the wealthy qurky suburbanites.
- 4ndrewl 2y agoidk, there's a market for expensive ICE vw buses in the UK. 60k is top-end, but the id.buzz is a niche vehicle for sure
- dagw 2y agoAt ~60k a pop who can spend that on a small bus? They seem to be super popular among trades people and as commercial vehicles. I have to admit I hardly ever see them in 'passenger' configuration.
- gessha 2y agoI looked at pricing original pricing info for Volkswagen Microbus [1] and I adjusted it for inflation. I came up with prices in the range of 20k~30k. 60k is definitely a lot but then I remember that most sedans are in the 20k, and the Toyota Sienna is in the 40k. The pricing of the bus compared to other cars makes sense but it's still too much. It makes more sense to buy used tbh.
